"I feel completely f---ed over." That was fey hero Nancy Wilson's reaction to the Republicans' unauthorized use of Heart's "Barracuda" last night to revive the audience from John McCain's coma-inducingly boring speech.
The Wilsons' statement from EW:
"Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."
Aren't they Canadian women? Jake Tapper also notes the oddness of the song choice considering it's lyrics.
If the real thing don’t do the trick/No, you better make up something quick/You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick/Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda."
